Juventus took the Serie A summit with their win over Napoli on Friday night, but their lead will prove short-lived if Inter manage to beat Udinese at home. The Nerazzurri beat Napoli 3-0 last time out to maintain their unbeaten streak of nine wins and three draws. They are the highest-scoring team in the campaign and have secured their ninth clean sheet of the league season. A victory against Udinese could mark a historic sixth consecutive home win in Serie A for Inter. Udinese’s season has been disappointing, with only 12 points, their lowest in Serie A since 1994/95. They have only won one out of their last 11 matches and are struggling to convert draws into wins. Udinese’s sole league victory came at San Siro, securing a memorable 1-0 win over Inter’s rival AC Milan in November.##NAJAVA_MECA_7729462##In midfield, there will be space for Matteo Darmian, who will be positioned on the right flank. Cuadrado is feeling better, but coach Simone Inzaghi has decided not to risk starting him. Perhaps the Colombian will be used in the second half. For the rest, there will be the regular starters, including Nicolo Barella, Hakan Calhanoglu, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, and Federico Dimarco, while in the attack, there will be Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram.Inter’s rivals Milan are just below them in the standings and have to overcome multiple injuries to their defenders for today’s game in Bergamo.##NAJAVA_MECA_7729459##Atalanta is going through a complicated period. No success in the last four matches, three losses, and a draw. Coach Gian Piero Gasperini hasn’t found a win since late October – a 3-0 victory against Empoli – then, no three points. Matches against Milan are usually spectacular and decisive. The Rossoneri are coming off two consecutive home wins in the league against Fiorentina and Frosinone. In the last match, they won 3-1 with goals from Jovic, Pulisic, and Tomori. Veteran goalscorer Olivier Giroud will return to the starting lineup against Atalanta.SERIE A – MATCHDAY 15FridayJuventus – Napoli 1-0 (0-0)/Gatti 51/Saturday Verona – Lazio (in progress)20.00: (2.65) Atalanta (3.35) Milan (2.90)22.45: (1.32) Inter (5.70) Udinese (10.5)Sunday 14.30: (3.40) Frosinone (3.35) Torino (2.35)17.00: (2.21) Monza (3.25) Genoa (3.60)20.00: (3.70) Salernitana (3.45) Bologna (2.19)22.45: (2.24) Roma (3.45) Fiorentina (3.60)Monday 20.30: (2.52) Empoli (3.25) Lecce (2.95)22.45: (2.45) Cagliari (3.50) Sassuolo (3.05)***odds are subject to change
